Two-year-old tests positive for THC at Lufkin hospital

ANGELINA COUNTY — A Lufkin woman was arrested on Sunday after a two-year-old boy was brought to a hospital in Lufkin for a THC overdose in April, an arrest affidavit reveals. According to our news partner KETK,  the boy was brought to a local hospital by his mother, 19-year-old Brianna Rene’ Lawrence, and another woman because he was not “waking up.” The toddler was found not alert by ER staff and was only responding to painful stimuli, officials said.

While an officer was speaking with Lawrence she allegedly admitted to using different THC products including THC gummies, marijuana and THC vape pens. After officers searched a white KIA SUV she used to transport the toddler to the hospital, they found marijuana with THC in the center console, the court documents said. The vehicle used wasn’t owned by Lawrence but the owner told the officer that the marijuana was Lawrence’s.

The officer then went on to search the homes of Lawrence and the car owners and found multiple THC products.

“I found a red grinder used for grinding marijuana with a green substance inside that tested positive for THC, along with an empty vape box labeled 100% cannabis with a green substance in it that tested positive for THC,” the document said. “Lawrence stated that the grinder was hers and provided a written voluntary statement.”
